Dr. Mike Haynie, Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation and founder and executive director of the Institute for Veterans & Military Families (IVMF), was quoted in the CNBC story “These college students are working as contract tracers to stop the spread of Covid on campus.” Vice Chancellor Haynie is leading the University’s efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19, and he says that there are now 50 students across multiple disciplines serving as contact tracers for the school. He says that a silver lining of the pandemic is that “it really has opened up the eyes of folks to how significant it is to have the opportunity to make an impact.”
